How to Cook Tarantulas
WouterThere are a number of different species of spider. Some people may find it a strange idea to eat one, but others would argue that spiders are a tasty delicacy. For example, in Cambodia, locals and tourists alike enjoy eating tarantulas.
However, there are some things to keep in mind when cooking tarantulas. First, you should remove the hairs on the body. Also, you should make sure that the spiders are not clumped together in the hot oil.
Once you have a spider that has been prepared for cooking, you can put it in a heavy pan over the fire. Then, add a bit of oil and spices.
You should fry the spider for about a minute. You should also drain the spider onto paper towels. The fried spider will have a crunchy exterior and a gooey center. This indicates that the meat inside is fully cooked.
Some spiders have a flavor that is similar to crab meat. Some people also believe that they taste like lobster without the fishy taste. This type of meat can be prepared with a marinade to give it more flavor.
Some people even eat the abdomen of a spider. The abdomen contains the spider’s eggs and other organs. It is also pickled in wine. It is a favorite of pregnant women. The large spider’s abdomen can also be deep fried.
Another way to prepare spiders for cooking is to cut them in half lengthwise. You can use a sharp knife to do this. Once the legs are cut out, the spider will be ready to be fried.
